The MPI Automotive MBM115MF is a centre muffler built on a 2in body for the Holden Statesman, listed across the VQ-VR V6 and VQ-VS V8 long-wheelbase cars. It sits mid-system as the middle silencing stage rather than the tailpipe or rear box.

Where does the MBM115MF sit in the system?

A centre muffler is the middle silencing stage, between the front pipe and the rear box. On the long-wheelbase Statesman that mid-section is a stretch of tube, and the centre muffler is what tempers resonance through the cabin floor over that span. Replacing it lets you reset the mid-car note without touching the cat ahead of it or the rear silencing behind. At a 2in body it is matched to the factory pipe routing of these cars rather than an oversized swap.

Which Statesman does it suit?

It is listed to fit the Holden Statesman in VQ and VR with the V6, and VQ through VS with the V8. The Statesman is the long-wheelbase body, so its mid-section length and hanger spacing differ from the standard Commodore. That body context is why a centre muffler is shaped for it specifically. Confirm your exact series and engine with the workshop before ordering, since these cars ran several running changes.

What does a centre muffler change in the note?

A muffler quietens by absorbing and reflecting sound inside its body, so the centre unit mainly controls mid-range resonance and drone rather than the final tailpipe character. Swapping it is the targeted move when the middle of the car is the problem area. We can't quote a sound figure — the honest way to judge it is to hear a comparable fit on the same body.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits the MBM115MF in-house across the Illawarra. We match it to the mid-section hangers, check clearance to the floor and tunnel on the long-wheelbase body, and confirm it lines up with the pipe either side. Bring the Statesman in and we'll confirm fitment and book the bay.

Common questions

Is the MBM115MF a centre or a rear muffler?
It's a centre muffler — the middle silencing stage, not the rear box or tailpipe section.
Does it fit both the V6 and V8 Statesman?
It's listed for the VQ-VR V6 and VQ-VS V8 Statesman. Confirm your exact series and engine with the workshop before ordering.
Will it change the sound on its own?
It affects the mid-car note, but it's one stage of several. We can't quote a sound level, so it's judge it by hearing a comparable fit.
